Dragon Ball Super 044
Tumblr media
It’s the Potaufeu Trilogy, comin’ atcha!
So the only real value to the first 75% of Dragon Ball Super is the filler episodes they stick between each arc.  The Battle of Gods and Resurrection F episodes were crappy reruns, and the Destroyers Tournament looks like a crappy WWE B-list Pay-Per-View.  And the Zamasu arc.... well, we’ll get to that. 
But the filler episodes are generally fun and enjoyable, probably because they don’t waste time dragging out every little moment to pad out the series.  Like Dragon Ball GT, Super could probably be edited down to a much shorter anime if they just cut out all the pointless monologues and staredowns and reaction shots from minor characters.  These were always part of the charm with DBZ, but GT and Super just abuse the hell out of those tricks, with little to show for it.  What puts Super ahead of GT is that it can occasionally produce a good story once in a while. 
Tumblr media
All right, so let’s dive into this.  Bulma’s doing some sort of experiment when Monaka shows up in his delivery truck to bring her more snacks.  She then borrows him to hold a funnel under a pipe while she generates a small amount of liquid.  There’s filter paper in the funnel, so I guess she needs to filter it.  Monaka just worries about falling behind on his route. 
Tumblr media
See, this was what I was saying about Gohan’s career in the last episode.  They’re so vague about what he does and how he does it.  In this scene, Bulma’s working on an experiment which clearly has no basis in reality, but I can still recognize some of the equipment.  Glass funnel, filter paper, and a giant over-sized beaker.   The other stuff doesn’t look like anything in particular, but it still looks kind of authentic, like someone actually used references to draw this room instead of just winging it.  They should show Gohan in a room like this, only with biology stuff.  Like bugs and... more bugs.  That’s where biologists work, right?  They just hop into a big room full of bugs. 
Tumblr media
Anyway, Goten and Trunks find Monaka’s unattended truck and start screwing around in the back.  Hey, those toys aren’t for you!
Tumblr media
Monaka’s in such a hurry to get on with his route that he doesn’t even check to see if anyone’s in the back.  He just listens to the radio, and they read his letter on the air.  Under a psuedonym, Monaka confesses that he likes to take the packages marked “fragile” and set them on fire. 
Tumblr media
Anyway, he doesn’t find the boys until he makes his next stop on Planet Potaufeu, where he has to warm them up because there’s no heat in the back of the truck. 
Tumblr media
Monaka’s here to deliver a martial arts magazine to the planet’s sole inhabitant, Potage.  Potage kind of looks like a cross between a dog and a beetle, but not quite.  Anyway, he’s got bigger problems on his hands right now.
Tumblr media
A bunch of bad guys, led by the evil Gryll, have come to this planet in search of “superhuman water”, but Goten and Trunks clobber them easily.
Tumblr media
Gryll withdraws, but not without picking up the mysterious amulet that Potage dropped earlier.  Among other things, it’s the key to unlock the superhuman water. 
Tumblr media
And while Goten and Trunks could easily stop him, he takes Monaka hostage, which allows him to take possession of the superhuman water.  Seems kind of anticlimactic, but...
Tumblr media
Back on Earth, Bulma has finally discovered Trunks and Goten got into Monaka’s truck before he took off.  She calls Jaco to help them search, and when he tries to back out, she considers contacting the Galactic King and telling him about that picture she saw on Jaco’s ship with silly stuff drawn on it. 
More importantly, look how huge Vegeta is in this shot.  It’s ridiculous.  He’s supposed to be a little shorter than Bulma, and while I’ve gotten used to artists toeing that line, making him a little taller, this time they go way too far.  The character model isn’t meant to be this tall, which is why his shoulders and arms look so messed up. 
Tumblr media
Here, they just screw it up in a whole different way.  Vegeta looks about right this time, except they just raised him up about six inches from Bulma’s level.  It looks like he’s standing on a box.
Tumblr media
Back on Potaufeu, the bad guys are chasing the good guys, but these aliens look a little... different, don’t they?
Tumblr media
Vegeta arrives in the nick of time (and so does Jaco) and he defeats the bad guys easily, but one of them melts into a puddle of purple goo, and it envelops Vegeta like a giant amoeba.
Tumblr media
This is probably someone’s fetish, so drink it in, you sick fucks.
Tumblr media
Vegeta emerges from the fluid seemingly unharmed, except he can’t use his powers. As for the purple goop...
Tumblr media
It’s become an exact copy of Vegeta, with all his powers.  Uh-oh.

Got nostalgic for some DBZ so here are some sketches. Still can draw a pretty good Goku, I think.
RIP to the corner tho (literally) as it tore when I was taking it out of the sketchbook for scanning. Top ten anime betrayals, smh.

The Tumblr reblog sensation is returning. But like the Sayians or Shakespeare’s folios, it has the potential to develop in many forms.
Visit kamehamehamlet.com to be notified when we have more details.
Follow this blog for a peak behind the curtain.
And read on to learn more about the show, how we got here, and where we’re going.
Thank you for waiting just a little bit longer.
Revival Project Q&A
Who are you?
Hi! I’m Daniel Cole Mauleón (@writepictures), the writer of Kamehamehamlet. In 2015 I co-founded the theatre company Play-Dot Productions with KHH’s director Shalee Mae Cole Mauleón.
What is Kamehamehamlet?
Tumblr media
Kamehamehamlet: Good Night Saiyan Prince, was an hour-long one act play, performed during the 2015 Minnesota Fringe Festival. It’s a staged retelling of Vegeta and Freeza’s battle on the planet Namek. Marketed as a Dragon Ball Z and Hamlet mash-up, the parody quickly shuffled off its weighted gi, revealing it was actually a Waiting for Godot spoof. After five performances, Vegeta hung up his helmet of spiky hair. Seven years later, K (@amokslime) wrote this incredibly gracious post on Tumblr, which inspired two people to reach out to me via Reddit to ask if I had a script or a recording of the performance.
I want to pause the semi-marketing voice and say a heartfelt thanks to K. Kamehamehamlet was brought to life by an incredible team of artists during a summer I’ll never forget. We got laughs at jokes, gasps at fight choreography, and we broke even on the budget (a Fringe miracle TBH). K’s post gave me the chance to revisit that show through someone else’s eyes. The mix of pride and humility it stirs up is truly indescribable.
If there is art which has changed you, and especially if the artist is still alive I encourage you to non-intrusively share that with the artist.
Is there a copy of the script?
Yes, I’ll speak more about that at below.
Is there a recording of the performance?
There was, but I genuinely lost the files. And that’s for the best, honestly. It was a last-second attempt, filmed from two cheap cameras (with different qualities and resolutions!), both at bad angles and with truly awful audio. Trust me. It’s better this way.
That said, I do have other archival footage from rehearsal's, tech, etc. that I look forward to sharing for those curious.
What’s next?
This is the question I’ve been asking myself over the past year and the reason it took so long to post anything. Especially since one thing I want to do differently this time is make sure that any artists involved are meaningfully compensated for their time and skill. However, I can’t plan without a better estimate of what kind of support we would have, and I didn’t want to share our intentions without concrete details.
Right now, the best way you can support this project is by signing up for the announcement on kamehamehamlet.com.
The second best thing you can do is to share with others about this project, if I’ve learned anything reading through the comments on K’s post, it is that there’s a much bigger audience for KHH than I could have ever imagined, and you likely know at least one more person who would be interested.
And while I don’t want to promise anything I can’t deliver on, I will share that I’m planning on making the script available this year and I’ll be writing a separate post about that in near future.
If you’ve read this far thank you so much.

hi! i’m not sure if you’ve done this before but.. could i please request a vegeta x human!reader who’s heavily tattooed (legs, arms)? i have no real idea for a plot line for it but gather it’s not something he’s seen a whole lot of since coming to earth - if at all! happy for either SFW or NSFW, completely up to you if you don’t mind the idea? have a lovely day!
For Fun | Vegeta x Reader |
author's note: this idea has absolutely made my day. it just begs for a sweet little vegeta learning moment, since normally it's him explaining saiyan culture. i have chosen the sfw path here! it's also funny bc i've been contemplating tattoos lol and a vegeta tattoo has been on the brain for some time now. thank you for your request!!!! 🩷🩷🩷
pairing: vegeta x fem!reader
warnings: sfw, reader has tattoos, some nudity but no smut or anything remotely nsfw, post-namek but pre-androids and cell
Tumblr media
You can feel Vegeta's eyes on you as you work on his suit, Bulma's lab being the only place you feel comfortable sharing space with him in— the racket of the tools at the very least would alert somebody of something nefarious happening. Your dear sister just had to have a soft heart (or rather, quite the boner) for the Saiyan, and now it's you that suffers the consequences while you patch up the blue suit with a precise needle and thread.
"I'm not going to ruin it." You snark at him, not exactly happy to be in his presence. He's a murderer! "I've fixed it for you before without an issue." Bulma's doing her best to copy whatever material this suit is made of, but she's having trouble competing with alien technology— though she'll certainly have it figured out soon. She's a petty thing on the regular, but test her intelligence with a challenge like this and she's more stubborn than acne on an asscheek.
"Mm." He never talks much, at least. But as you stretch your arm out to pull the thread taught, Vegeta moves to take your wrist in his hand. While strong and easily capable of smashing your poor bones to smithereens, his touch is on the softer side.
"What in the world are you doing?" Are aliens unaware of personal space??
Ignoring you initially, Vegeta's gloved fingers curiously glide along your forearm, eyes focused on the artwork adorning your skin. "Your tattoos make little sense. What sort of culture is this?"
"Culture?" You repeat the word dumbly, fighting the urge that lingers just under your skin, heart rate picking up as you will yourself not to shiver at his touch.
"These flowers and symbols, what do they represent? I've been on Earth long enough to know the culture here is nothing like these— furthermore, the lab rat has none at all."
The laugh that bubbles from your chest is easy. Perhaps Earth is the only planet, or one of few, with inhabitants that indulge in tattoos for pleasure rather than cultural representation. "They aren't part of any culture, Vegeta."
"Then what are they?" His brow furrows rather adorably, his lips pulling into a pout as you laugh at his ignorance.
"For fun."
"You marked yourself permanently for fun?"
"Sure did. I got tons of 'em. Some of 'em mean somethin', but for the most part they just bring me joy."
Vegeta releases you finally, shaking his head in a way that reminds you of your father when you first started inking up. "Silly Earth woman…"
"Oh come on. Tell me they aren't pretty." You smirk softly, eyes glittering with the twinkles of mischief. This is a new light on Vegeta, one that perhaps drew Bulma's generosity his way in the first place.
"Tch." A blush rises to his cheeks and he looks away, staring a hole into the wall. "They're not ugly."
A not-so-pretty snort escapes you as you resume patching the suit up, tying and clipping off the end of the thread after the hole is closed up. "I got my first tattoo when I was seventeen. I was young and dumb and in love with a guy I thought I would be with forever." You murmur softly, pulling up the leg of your sweatpants to show off the heart by your ankle. It's old and faded by now, but your lips still pull into a smile at it.
Vegeta takes the moment to examine it, brushing a curious knuckle over the tattoo. His curiosity is sweet, and this must've been on his mind for ages now— it's not like him to get handsy or remotely talkative at all. "Saiyans never took part in these."
It makes all the sense in the world; from what you've pieced together by Vegeta's quiet, rarely spoken about tales of home and with the love for fighting that gushes from both his and Goku's hearts, Saiyans aren't exactly sentimental. "Well… You're on Earth now. You could get a tattoo just for the hell of it."
"I have no need." Vegeta looks away again, and you shrug to yourself.
"They're not for everyone, I guess." You hold the repaired suit out, feeling a tad bummed out that the sight of him in a tank top and sweatpants will be gone soon, but a lilt of surprise thrums in your heart when he sets it on the table and looks at you instead.
"Do you… have more of them?"
You laugh and tug at your t-shirt, pulling it off in the face of the blushing prince and revealing several more tattoos, most of which he's never seen before. "You got time?"
"You could certainly warn a man before you start stripping." He grumbles out, forever the prude even in the face of a gorgeous woman and her body.
"So sorry." Your tease bounces off of him as his curious fingers run along the lines on your tummy, sides and just below your breast. You're bare to him almost entirely, as you've never worn a bra at home and certainly didn't intend to start just because a man moved in, though his eyes and touch are calmly curious and genuinely interested in the artwork you're laced with, rather than the perky breasts and soft skin that would have most men acting a fool by now.
It almost has you feeling ugly, though that near-permanent tint of red that dusts his cheekbones reminds you otherwise.
"Don't forget the one on my back." Your murmur is gentle, only there to invite him further into the journey without jostling his concentration too much. And he takes your advice, stepping behind you while tracing the intricate linework of the massive tattoo, pausing at the sight of the gorgeous mural on your back. You've spent quite a bit of money on this, suffered the pain of the needle piercing and permanently scarring your skin to the patterns that'll forever mark you, and the admiration Vegeta has for your commitment alone is monumental.
Even gloved, his touch warms your skin in the lab's cool conditions and that little spot on your back, the one that had you shaking and embarrassed as your tattoo artist that, bless his resilience, dealt with with more care than a fucking surgeon to properly tattoo, flutters against the accidental tickle. You shift, muffling a laugh into your palm and there's a pause before Vegeta drags his fingertips over the spot again, and then once more.
"Your laugh isn't ugly either." He mutters and steps away, the warmth of his proximity erased and goosebumps covering your body now.
Standing ten toes down and looking over your shoulder, your lips twist in gentle glee upon catching his dark eyes with your own. It's taken some time, but you've finally found what Bulma saw in Vegeta that allowed him into your shared home.
He's flustered by such intimacy and he quickly snatches his Saiyan suit up before rushing towards the door. "Put a shirt on, you vile woman, or you'll catch a cold." Vegeta grumbles out, hightailing it towards the comfort of his gravity room and far away from whatever the hell just happened.
"Must be the first time he touched a woman." You snicker, tugging your shirt on and cleaning up the mess, lest your sister properly bitch you out for it later on.
The ghost of his touch remains, and even under the duress of several times Earth's gravity, Vegeta's palms fondly remember the feeling of your skin.

Do you remember the theatre that dbz show performed in, or who the director was? If i dont get my hands on that script i shall perish
Anon is talking about this post!
I saw the play in 2015 at the Minnesota Fringe Festival. I did some googling and found a few photos:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So there's Vegeta's bike helmet with Vegeta hair attached. And there's the Waiting for Godot style sparse set with a blue tree and crumbly DBZ style rock. I wish I could find a photo of Freeza's costume.
Other than that, the production was called Kamehamehamlet. Apparently there was a Hamlet aspect to the play as well. I didn't retain that at all, but hey. It's been eight years.
I wish I had more info to give you! If you decide to track down the script, please please please PLEASE be mindful of the author's privacy and respect their decision on whether to share. But if you do get a copy of the script please share it with me because I'd love to experience it again.

Dragon Ball Super 046
Tumblr media
Potaufeu Trilogy III: Pacification
Tumblr media
All right, so Vegeta got attacked by the Commeson, an alien weapon made of purple jello that absorbs people’s powers and produces exact copies of them.  The real Vegeta will fade away into nonexistence unless someone can destroy the copy in the next few minutes.  And by “someone”, we pretty much mean “Goku”, since he’s the only one powerful enough to get the job done. 
Tumblr media
The fight’s pretty decent, but the real drama is in Vegeta’s conflicted emotions over watching it.  On the one hand, he obviously needs Goku to win this one, or he’ll literally die.  On the other hand, if Goku can actually beat Copy-Vegeta in under five minutes, then he would figuratively die... of embarrassment!  And yet, if Copy Vegeta managed to win this thing, that still wouldn’t satisfy Vegeta, because that should have been his victory, and he’s been reduced to a spectator. 
So with all that running through his mind, Vegeta loses it and attacks the copy during the fight, but ends up passing right through him, because he’s turning into some sort of ghost.  This seems like a plot hole, since Vegeta lost his powers, and yet he’s flying in this scene, but maybe that’s a side effect of the vanishing thing. 
Tumblr media
Anyway, he scolds both Copy Vegeta and Goku for their shitty efforts.  Cripes, they just keep making Vegeta taller and taller in this arc.  He’s taller than friggin’ Goku now, and everyone knows that’s not right. 
Tumblr media
So Goku and the copy transform into Super Saiyan Blues and continue.  You know, they really should have just started from here.  I mean, the Copy’s got no reason to hold back, and Goku has a pretty hard deadline here.  Or maybe he wants Vegeta to sweat it out a little.  A little payback for breaking his ribs that one time.  Or cutting out on him when they were about to fight Jeice and Ginyu.  Or when Vegeta let Cell become perfect.  Or the whole Majin Vegeta thing.  I should really move on.
Tumblr media
To slow the progress of Vegeta’s condition, Potage gives Vegeta the thing he wears around his neck.  It’s like the key to the prison his people built to contain Commeson, and it’s made with the “antidote” they used to defeat it before, so maybe if Vegeta puts it in his mouth, it’ll help. 
Tumblr media
But we all know what it looks like, and Jaco tries to take a photo, but his camera runs out of power before he can get a good shot.  I got you covered, Jaco.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SEO: dragon ball dragon ball z dragonball dragonballz vegeta pacifier binky vegeta’s pacifier stupid babies need the most care vegeta’s binky dragon ball super vegeta vegeta vegeta baby
Tumblr media
Anyway, Potage suddenly remembers there’s another way to help Vegeta.  So the Commesson creates copies of its vicitms, which it supposedly controls.  But Copy Vegeta turned against the main Commesson when it tried to get him to fight dirty against Goku.  But there’s a yellow crystal inside the Commesson’s goop, and if they can smash it, that will weaken all the copies it’s made.  That will give Goku the edge against Copy Vegeta. 
Trunks asks why Potage didn’t mention this before, and he admits that it’s been a hundred years since he ever had to think about it.  Anyway, the plan doesn’t work, because they can’t find the Commeson, and then it starts chasing after them.
Tumblr media
They retreat back to the mesa where Vegeta is watching the fight, and then the Commeson follows them, and tries to attack Trunks.  Vegeta attempts to defend the boy, but he can’t do anything.  And then, in all the confusion, Monaka steps on the part of the Commeson that has the yelllow crystal floating in it.  It shatters, and Copy Vegeta is immediately affected.
Tumblr media
I know the main event of this episode is the pacifier bit, but let’s not overlook this awesome shot of Copy Vegeta melting into goop.
Tumblr media
Goku finishes off Copy Vegeta with a Kamehameha, and Vegeta turns solid again.  Potage thanks everyone for their help, although his job hasn’t changed.  You’d think crushing that little crystal would kill the Commeson for good, but apparently Potage still has to seal it away and keep anyone else from releasing it.  Couldn’t Goku throw it into the sun or something?  Well, I guess the old guy knows what he’s doing.  
Tumblr media
Then everyone goes home and Vegeta is mortified to learn what a pacifier is.  He insists that he would have died before putting it in his mouth if he had any idea what it was.  I don’t know.  Between the Bingo Dance, the GT mustache, the nude ghost sequence, and several Yukio Ebisawa episodes of Z, I’m not even sure this is the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to Vegeta.
Tumblr media
Ope, but we’re not done yet.  In a grimdark edgy preview, we see a familiar figure lurking in the shadows.  But no matter how desperately he tries, he cannot hide for long from...
Tumblr media
The bullshittiest saga of them all!   Hoo-boy.

I swear I briefly went into fight or flight when Ruin started singing You'll Be Back.
So, yeah...Bloodmoon is once again just going and doing things for someone else...just like Ruin programmed them to...
Then, Vegeta's conversation with Eclipse...I'm trying to piece it all together. Vegeta brought up how, during Eclipse's conversation with Foxy a while back, Foxy was the only one between them who argued that neither of them was the same as they were before their respective mishaps. Every time Eclipse has seemed to change his mind, or change the way he reacts to something, it always seems to be after he's talked with someone. Talking to Foxy led him to seeing himself as just a copy. Talking to Puppet seemed to be enough to make him actually think about how Solar could potentially be brought back. He's seemed less eager for Ruin to be killed since talking to Earth.
He's starting to form his own views on things.
He's becoming his own person.

🥳JACK EARNED HIS AUTISTIC LICENSE 🎉🎉🎉
HAPPY AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH EVERYONE, I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS CUTE LITTLE DRAWING I MADE OF JACK-O-MOON AND HIS UNCLE SUN^^
Tumblr media
JACK IS ONE OF MY COMFORT CHARACTERS AND IS PRACTICAL A BABY A.I. LEARNING TO PROCESS HIS EMOTIONS AND SOCIAL CUES. I REALLY HOPE HE GETS THE LOVE AND CARE NEEDED FROM HIS FAMILY, ESPECIALLY AFTER ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS HE'S LEARNING IS GRIEF AFTER THE LOSS OF HIS CREATER/PARENT SOLAR. I HOPE AT THE VERY LEAST THEY LET HIM FIND COMFORT WITH HIS FRIEND VEGETA OR HAVE MOON GIVE HIM A ONE ON ONE DECISION ON EVERYTHING.
AS SOMEONE WHO HAS ADHD AND IS ON THE SPECTRUM MYSELF, I RELATE A LOT TO JACK AND HIS REPETITIVE BEHAVIORS AND SPEECH PATTERNS. I STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND AND PROCESS EMOTIONS MOST OF THE TIME AND CAN FLIP ON A DIME AT RANDOM, I ALSO HAVE MEMORY PROBLEMS AND CAN FORGET WHAT I AM DOING AND GET CONFUSED EASILY WHEN SPOKEN TO.
HERE IS THE SKETCH BEFORE ADDING SUN
Tumblr media
P.S. THIS IS THE CLOSEST I'VE EVER GOTTEN TO THE GAME CANON DESIGNS OF DCA OUT OF PURE MEMORY SO IM PRETTY PROUD OF IT^^
I MIGHT COLOR IT LATER OR MAKE COPIES TO SET UP AS POSTERS FOR FUN^^

A bit late and I wasn't even sure if I can make a tribute art for Akira Toriyama, but here's a quick sketch.
My taste in men started when I chose Vegeta over Goku :)))
For this tribute art, I wasn't sure if I'd copy Toriyama-sensei's art style like how I used to draw DBZ fanart in grade school, or go with my own. ^^;
My introduction to Dragon Ball was through my cousins, but my memories of that are vague, and it wasn't until I was in grade school where one of the more mainstream local channels started airing Dragon Ball in Filipino dub that I got into it, and it was then that I understood why my cousins are so into it. I also remember watching a DBZ movie (tho I don't remember which movie was it because I was still not very familiar with Dragon Ball at that time) with my aunt, cousin, and a family friend's son in a theater. DBZ was a big hit in the country that not only it attracted male fans, but also female fans thanks to the likes of Vegeta and Trunks, haha! In grade school, I remember having friends debating on who the best DBZ guy is between Vegeta and Trunks, and also discuss about what happened in the last episode. It made us go home early to catch it on TV and look forward to school the next day to talk about it. This was a time before mobile phones and social media. I also used to make fanmade DBZ comic strips (like what I still do now haha!) on the back of my notebook or on a piece of paper, then share it to my friends. Fast forward to high school when I managed to get a copy of Chrono Trigger. When I found out that it was the same person who made Dragon Ball and the characters for Chrono Trigger, I was in awe. I never thought that a comic creator can also be an artist for a game. I went, "Damn I wanna be like that, too. Make comics and characters for games! I wanna be just like Akira Toriyama!" And that's how Akira Toriyama has inspired me. I took art seriously and took it as a degree along with game development. Now here I am, making my own comics, and have made character and mecha designs for games.
It is undeniable that Toriyama-sensei is a huge influence for creatives.
Thank you very much for your work, and for being an inspiration to many!
